The Movement to End Corporate Personhood and Money as Speech

David Cobb is national spokesperson for Move to Amend, a principal with the Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy (POCLAD) and National Projects Director for Democracy Unlimited. He is a lawyer and political activist. David has sued corporate polluters, lobbied elected officials, and run for political office himself at the state and national levels.

Many of the issues we care about and work on — good education, affordable health care, plentiful and living wage jobs, a clean environment, safe communities, strong small businesses, fair taxes, reducing debt, honest elections — are impossible to fundamentally achieve so long as corporate entities are continually granted constitutional "rights" of people and money is constitutionally claimed to be equal to "free speech."

Move to Amend (movetoamend.org) is building a national grassroots social movement for an amendment to the US Constitution declaring that only human beings are persons and money in elections should be limited by We the People.

Move to Amend is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of individuals committed to social and economic justice, ending corporate rule, and building a vibrant democracy that is genuinely accountable to the people, not corporate interests. We call for an amendment to the US Constitution to unequivocally state that inalienable rights belong to human beings only, and that money is not a form of protected free speech under the First Amendment and can be regulated in political campaigns.
